Hydrophobia.
Several reports luivo reached us of
n?nd dogs from different sections of
the County nil of which seem indefi
nite and mixed more or less with
suspicions rather than facts; but wo
saw Mr. Collier from the Cuwcastlo
section, .1 truthful, and, in every way,
a reliable man, who states that lie
saw three dogs, two of which wore
bitten by the first, in the maniacal
singe of this disease?two of tho dogs
belonged to Mr. John At ant. A
cow on tlie south .side of the swamp
was also bitten by tbe.-r.unc wander
ing dog.
Hydrophobia appears in two differ
cut forms; first, the violent form, or
rubies; second, the sullen form. Toe
first is the nitst common and that
prevailing in our County. This has
three st.ges; tho melancholic stage,
lasting from a half to three days; the
maniacal stage, lusting three or f??ur
days; und the ptiralytic stage, when
death ensues on the seventh or eighth
day.
The disease manifests itself in the
animal by a change of behavior, be
coming irascible, sullen, Ii Igcty, con -
stautly changing position, cxtre niely
irritable, morose, and easily enraged.
The animal crouches for the slightest

animal wanders away and returns
home be.is suspicious and sly, or some
times the opposite, very friendly to
persons with whom he is acquainted
and for this reason be is the more
dangerous.
Many dogs snap and bite at what
ever comes in their way, other dogs,
eats, birds, larger animals and often
men.
These symptoms we have conden
sed from Zieinssen 's Cyclopaedih of
the Practice of Medicine for the bene
fit of those who own valuable dogs
and do not wish to lose them on sus
picion merely; other dogs bad better
be killed at once rather than run any
risk.

Having seen the experiments made
by Dr. ?St. Julien Knvcncl, at tho
Atlantic and Stono Miosphate works
with wheat, oats, barley, and rye,
manured with the ash element and
peas, 1 was satisfied with the results,
and concluded 1 would give it a trial
on my farm, and I herewith give you
my experiment with its results :
On the first of July 1877 I took a
piece of land, 3 acre--, which bad been
planted in oats (the two previous years
without manure, yielding from 1G to
18 bushels per aero. On part of the
5 acres I Bowed broad cast 500 lbs. of
ash element per acre, and on tho
whole 5 acres two bushels of cow
peas per acre turning all under with
a Watt's turning plough. The result
was a luxurious growth of vines, tho
more especially where the ash cle
ment had been sowed, rio fruit was
matured by the pea. On the first of
October I sowed broadcast two bush
els ot tue red rust proof oats per acre,
turning pea. and oats under, with a
two horse Watt plough and smothing
off with a heavy drag.
From an acre m inured with the
ash clement and (tow pea, thrashed
?ud cleaned, by weight yielded 54
bushels 3 pecks and 7 quarts; from an
acre manured with poaa alone, yield
ed 30 bu shcls 3 pecks and 6 quarts, a
difference in favor o! tho a h element
i>f 2-1 bushels and one quart, and a
difleranco of about 30 bushels be
tween the natural land without any
manure ami that manured with tho
ash cloinent and p"n. The land ex
perimented on was about equal in
productiveness.
1 tried also an experiment with tho
ash (.'lenient ami shinny or speck led
pea, the result was unsatisfactory,
The cow pea should be the only pea
used in these experiments.

Newspaper Business.
An exchange says : We sup pose
many people think that tho newspap
er men are persistent duns; let a far
mer place himself in a similar busi
ness position and sec if he would not
do the same. Suppose ho raised one
thousand bushels of wheat, and his
neighbor should coino and buy a
bushel, and the price was a small
matter of only two dollars or less, and
the neighbor says, "I will hand you
the amount in a few days. " As the
farmer did not waut to be small
about the matter, bo says all right,
and the man leaves with the wheat.
Another comes in the same way until
the whole one tbousacd bushels of
wheat are trusted out 'o one thotmn d
different persons, and not one of the
purchasers concerns himself about it,
for it is a small amount that be owes
the farmer, and of course that would
not help him any. He does not real
ize that the farmer has fritted away
all his large crop of wheat; and that
its value is due him in a thousand
little diiblets, and that ho is seriously
embarrassed in his business because
his debtors treat it as a small matter.
But if nil would pay him promptly,
which they could do as well as not, it
would be a very large amount to the
farmer, aud enable him to carry on
bis business without difficulty. The
above caparison is too true of the
difficulties that the newspaperman
has to contend with
"We had short-cake for tea," said
a little girl to a neighbor's boy to
whom she was talking through the
fence. ".So did we," he answered;
"very short?so short, it didn't, go
round."

Tho Responsive Chord.
The Rev. J. William Jones, in an
add rosa before the National Sunday
School OouvcnUon, Atlanta, Ga.. re
lated the following incident: "In the*
early spring of 1863, when the Con
federate and Federal armies were
confronting each other ou the opposite
hills of Stallbrd and Spotsyl vania, two
hands chanced one eveni'g at the same
hour, to begin to discourse s^weet music
on either bank of the river. A largo
crowd of the soldiers of both armies
gathered to listen to the music, the
Iriendly pickets hot interfering, hud
soon thi? bands began to answer each
other. First the band on the north
ern bank would play 'Star Spangle!
Banner," "Hail Columbia," or some
other national air, and at its conclu
sion the "boys in blue" would cheer
most lttslly. And then the band on
the southern bank would respond
with "Dixie," or Bonnie Blue Flag"
or some other Southern melody, and
the "boys in gray" would attest their
approbation with an "old Con fed or
ate yell." But presently on e of the
bands struck up in sweet and plaiutiv c
notes, which wore wafted across the
heautitul Rappahaunock, were c night
up at once b} the other band and
swelled into a grand anthem which
touched every heart, "Home, S?veei
Home!" At the conclusion >f this
piece there went up a simultaneous
shout from both sides of the river?
cheer followed cheer, and those hills,
which had so recently resounded with
hostile guns, echoed aud reechoed the
glad acclaim. A chord bad been
struck, responsive to which the hearts
f enemies?enemies then?could
heat in unison, aud ou both sides of
the river,
'Somethingdown the soldier's check
Wiln?ed oil'the stains of powder.' "
The Toddygraph.
"? The- .latest reported invention of
Edison is called the "teddygraph."
While Edison was imbibing a mint
jlllip in the saloon adjoining, abril
?iant idea Hashed through his fertile
brain, and before be bad left the
place he had invented an instrument
that is likily to revolutionize the
whole saloon business. It is a ma
chine, so constructed that when a per
son, who has just partaken of some
spirituous beverage, breathes into it,
the action of his breath upon a pecu
liarly prepared substance, (also the
invention of Mr, Edison) made to re
volve slowly by means of a small
crank, makes such an impression,
that by again applying the lips and
turning the crank the other way, the
effects of the drink can be reproduced
as many times as desired, no matter
how great tl length of time may have
elapsed, A man provided with one
of these small instruments could pro
vide himself with cocktails for a long
journey, simply for the price of one
drink. Edison christened it the
"toddygraph." Of course the saloons
will light against it bitterly, as it must
destroy tho business of ninety-nine
out. of a hundred of them. A person
can mix his drinks just to suit himself
and thou stock his toddygragh with a
supply oi different beverages sufficient
to last him a life time.
Language of tho Hair
All of our features have their lan
guage?eyes, nose and mouth. And
now some one discovers that even the
hair has its own indications.
Straight, lank, stingy looking hair
indicates weakness and cowardice.
Curly hair denotes a quick temper.
Frizzy hair, set on one's head as if
each individual hair was ready to
fight its neighbor, denotes coarseness.
Black hair indicates persistent
resolution in accomplishing an object
? also a strong predisposition to re
venge wrong and insults, real or fan
cied.
Brown hair denotes fondness of life,
a friendly disposition, ambition, earn
estness of purpose, sagacity for busi
ness, reliability in friendship, in pro
portion as the hair is lino.
Very fine hair indicates an even
disposition, readiness to forgive, with
a desire to add to the happiness of
others
Persons with fine light brown or
auburn hair, inclined to curl or friz,
arc quick tempered, and are given to
resentment and revenge.
Iiight brown hair, inclined to rod ?
ness, wit h a freckled skin, is said to
be a certain indication of deceit,
treachery and disposition to do some
thing mean by a friend who can no
longer bo used" to advantage.
All of which may he news to for

How Fast Will Trees Grow.
In order to lost the rapidity of tho
growth of the different varieties of
trees a writer in a Western paper
took the measurement and height of
a large number, some years ago, with
the following result:
Two Norway spruces, sot twenty
years, wore live ami a half feet in cir
cumference, forty f et in height, and
had a spread of about twenty-six
feet in diameter. A black spruce set
fifteen years Was twenty-five feet in
height and proportionately large.
Two balsam firs, set sixteen years,
were thirty feet high.
A European larch, set seventeen
years, was forty two feet high and
four feet in circumference at the
base.
A Scotch pine, set eighteen years,
was twenty six feet high.
A baid pine, set seventeen years,
was three feet eight inches in circum
ference and twenty-five feet high.
A w hite pine, set eighteen years,
was four feet in circumference, while
an Austrian, set fourteen years, was
tw< nly foot high.
A Russian spruce set. fifteen years,
was about fifteen feet in height.
The red cedars and arbor vilajs, set
fourteen years, averaged twenty feet
in height, while a hedge or wind
break, setentiiely around nu eighty
acre farm, but composed of first a row
of cedars set was fifteen years, which
averaged fifteen feet, next a row of
Scotch pine twcntyfive A-et high, an d
outside of this a row of soft maples
ranging from twentyfive to thirty feet
in height. Thc-?c formed a perfect
security against high winds and re
duced the temperature in tho en
closure several degrees.
Hard maples, set twenty years,
?.vertigo 1 over thirty feet in height.
One soft maple, set eixhtecn years,
was fifty foot in height and six feet in
circumference at the body.
A black walnut, set sixteen years,
was four feet three inches in diame
ter, while a sycamore, trrnsplanted
twenty years before from the timber,
was seven feet in circumference at tho
base ami fortycight feet in height.
A silver leaf poplar, set twenty
years, was seven feet two inches in
circumference and thirtyfivo feet in
height, and a golden willow, that
twenty years before had been stuck
i nlo the ground a switch, was eleven
feet eight inches in circumferences
and over forty feet high.
There wero many other varieties
some of them rare specimens?but
enough has be,;ii shown to prove that
oven our slow growing variet ies, if
carefully cultivated, will, in a few
years, became great trees. But they
must be taken care of and cattle kept
from tliem just as closely as if they
were orchard trees, if tho bestresults
are to be secured.

Trying to Sell a Mule.
'Chentlomen*,' lie said, looking af
fectionately at a little mouso-coloro I
donkey not much larger than a Kan
sas grasahopper and having a gentle,
look in its soft I)rown oyo-J. 'If you

Ho vas a goot, eben tie niule, und ho

He looked around the crowd, and
as no one made an oiler lie went on :
'You no gif forty-fife tollars? Cliim
iny 1 you vas a big fools Vy dot
mule vas goot as seventy fife tollars;
vy, chentlemen's, look atdcrmorul

frients, of you got dat amount of gur
rency, you can hafe der best Shack

It was evident that the animal
didn't suit, or there was not thirty
five dollars in the crowd, for his offer
was not accepted, and presently he
continued:
'Veil, veil dot makes me weep my
eyes out mit sorrow und grief dot my

'How do you make it out that he U

stander, with a grin, 'i he preacher
had him three years and half, and
you had him seven; wouldn't that
make him ten and a half?'
